Chapter 183 I Want You to Work for Me

• The young girl already had her eyes open when the middle-aged man walked into the room. She looked pleasantly surprised by the sight of the man. “Is that you, Daddy? My illness relapsed again, and I can’t control myself from relapsing. I even dirtied someone else’s bed! I’m sorry, Daddy. I’m a good girl, and I’ll get out of bed now. I don’t want someone else to get mad at me.” Emma Sandler noticed that her clothes had stained the bed she was lying on, and her expression immediately turned from one of surprise into one of shock. Then, she hastily tried to pull herself off the bed.
• “It’s not your fault, Emma. It’s all my fault. Come here; let me help you.” The middle-aged, disheveled-looking man quickly reached his rather dirty hands toward the child, for Emma was too weak to get herself off the bed. However, an innocent smile formed on her face when she saw that her father hadn’t scolded her at all, and she then spread her arms out for her father to carry her off the bed. She didn’t seem to mind her father’s grubby clothes, and she even pressed her face against his chest.
• Meanwhile, Scarlett, who had been watching the whole scene from aside, pressed her hands to her lips as she felt a tight sensation in her chest. Before Christopher could say anything, she barged into the room and spoke to the young girl. “You don’t need to pay anything here, Emma. Don’t worry. No one’s going to hit you here.” Scarlett gave the middle-aged man a look of anticipation; she hoped he would be able to trust her words.
